Your Guide to the Guest Friendly Hotels in Hanoi

Since Vietnam’s Capital Hanoi is one of the lesser known cities on the circuit, I decided to keep things as simple as possible for everyone and add only the guest friendly hotels of Hanoi that are centrally located around Hoan Kiem lake district in the old Quarter near the bars and nightlife hot spots of the city. Keep in mind that since you are visiting a Communist country, Vietnamese hotels abide by must stricter rules than their Thai counterparts when it comes to foreigners sharing a room with local girls overnight. Just to give you an idea, out of the 160 hotels that I contacted in Hanoi only 50 responded favorably at bringing back a guest at no extra cost so please pick carefully and choose only from those off my list if you want to avoid any bad surprises.

I have personally taken the time to contact each and every single one of the establishments in my Hanoi Hotels list below as of December 2016 to make sure their guest friendly policy is still in effect. You can check out the reply they provided with the hotels description.

A hotel in Hanoi that is deemed Guest Friendly, Girl Friendly or Bargirl friendly simply means that the establishment will allow and won’t charge any extra to take back an unregistered guest up to your room. A joiner fee can cost anywhere around from 10 to 50$ a night but could be even higher depending on the hotel policy. Especially since Vietnamese hotels are much more strict due to Government restrictions than their Thai counterparts. While during the day you can usually get away with it pretty easily, it’s really after 10 PM that things get complicated. Vietnamese Law requires a marriage certificate in order for a foreigner and a Vietnamese woman to share a room overnight so hotels in Hanoi have to jump through a few extra hoops to circumvent this.

About the Website

For those of you looking to avoid unpleasant surprises when coming back at the hotel, or being smacked with unexpected "joiner fees" added to the bill upon checkout, I have compiled a lists of hotels which are known to have "guest friendly" policies.

The hotels on these lists are very popular with like minded visitors and are also known to respect the privacy of their guests. But most importantly, none of them levy any extra charges for bringing back unregistered guests.
